The Archaeological and Historical Museum in Elbląg is housed in a malt house (part of the now non-existent Teutonic castle) and in the building of the first Polish humanities gymnasium. In the courtyard you can admire the Viking house from Truso reconstructed based on the research of dr Marek Jagodziński. The museum has been operating since 1954.
The most interesting exhibits in the collection of the Elbląg museum include: glasses from the 15th century (the oldest found in Europe), white Elbląg and Dutch ceramics, a 15th-century giterna (one of the 3 preserved in the world considered to be the model of today's mandolin), tin dishes from the 16th and 18th centuries, goldsmith's products from Pomeranian factories, and Elbląg baroque furniture.
The museum conducts extensive educational activities targeted at various age groups. Classes take place not only at the museum, they also have a variety of character - from drama, through art classes, to movement and dexterity classes. In the historic Clio cafe there are meetings devoted to, among others outstanding figures associated with Elbląg.
